Thanks for writing...you can do searches on statistics

re Gallbladder Cancer on the web if you like using

www.google.com but I have been told by my doctor

that it is relatively rare, and happens in older folks more

than younger. But there are exceptions to every rule,

and I'm terribly sorry to hear that one of your friends was

one of those. If I had watched this happen to a friend,

I'd probably be tempted to run and have mine removed

as well, but still, it is not one of the more common

cancers. I have had ultrasounds that show that my

gallbladder and ducts are healthy, if ultrasounds are

capable of showing such things, but have shown stones,

which I'll continue to work on flushing as needed.
